071 class speaker

[John-r]

Hi All.   Does anyone know what type of speaker is in the mm 071s , I'm thinking of installing sound in one and wondering do they come with a fairly decent speaker just or would it need upgraded and to which type, excuse the novice questions, TIA. cheers John.

Don’t know the make of speaker that is fitted but the sound reproduction is excellent.

Where you source your decoder from, should have a video on their website to hear the loco sound, unless you are purchasing it 2nd hand.

As I am UK based and use Kadee couplers, Wheeltappersdccsound.co.uk have an uncouple function and Neil is a Irish railway modeller himself.

Roadsandrails, Murphy Models are suppliers as well and maybe Leggobiffoman ?

Other members will add info.

Thanks very much Fowler4f for your informative reply, speaker sounds like it's more than up for the job. Haven't bought a decoder yet, have looked at roads and rails as well as wheeltappers alright, things looking a bit pricey from UK at the moment, appreciate your help.

I don’t know any model shops other than Marks models in Ireland, try them all to see if you could get one reasonable. As with everything, nothing is coming down in price.
